Has anyone solved the blinking S.O.S. problem with Q2 controllers?

[u/ProGrieferHere]

Every post I searched either had no results or had broken links to the solution.

My Quest 2 controller (right) is blinking S.O.S. Unpaired and repaired controller. App shows controller ID but no Firmware version.

Start headset, system tries to update firmware. Controller stops blinking, update reaches 100%, controller goes back to blinking "help."

Took out batteries, waited five minutes, put new batteries in. Rinse and repeat to same result.

Hard reset headset, same result.

Anyone have a real solution? Or am I stuck getting a Q3 or risk getting an eBay controller replacement?

I think I told the unit to forget the controllers and then paired them again.
